With Rheumatism, I Could not Walk
for Six Months, and Went to Hospital after Hospital, but Could
Get No Relief until
CURED BY
Four years ngn I wns taken with
rheumatism, and for (lircc years I
could not ilo any work at all. Put for
the last yonr, since using Minimi's
Liniment, I am able to do aU my L:,iisp-
wnrk. I think that I know the worth
nf Minard's Liniment better than ai>v
person who has ever suffered will;
rheumatism. Hundreds of people who
know of my suffering give Minard's
Liniment the praise. I wish that _*eiy
one knew the worth of this Liniment
as T do. Yours truly, Mrs. Fmma B.
Williams, 62 Sawyer St., Boston.

TIIE SUGAR CONVENTION.
• ** ■* .
Loudou, Jiiij 4—Earl Denbigh raised u discussion in tbe House of Lords upou tbe Government's attitude towaids the Brussels Sugar Convention, which he .-aid must have a detrimental
effect upon the project*: lately set ou foot for the
cultivation of beets iu Lincolnshire and Yorkshi e
for sugar manufacture. Contracts fur putting 2.IMUI
acres near Sleafuid ouder cultivatiou for growing
sugarlieet had to he aliaudoued owing to feats
that the bounties system would lie resumed.
Lord Lansdowne said the government's announcement had created the profounilest dismay iu all
circles interested in tbe sugar trade. Lord Fitz-
uiauricc defended the government's attitude and
reminded tbe House of the preseut state of the
negotiations regarding tbe Convention, which had
heeu indicated in tbe despatch fiom Earl (iiey to
the British Miuister at Brussels. The Marquis
of Uij.mii agreed that the bounty system, such as
tbe government seemed inclined to adopt, was
utterly opposed to the principles of Free Trade
which should lie carried out irrespective of what
other countries did.
UNITED STATES.
New York, July 4.—The attempt ol the iude-
l>eudeut ice-dealers to break the strike of tbe Ice
Company's wagon drivers has i (.-suited iu a series
of street battles ia Brooklyn to-day which the
police were unable to ijuell until several of the
participauts had sustained minor iujuiies.
Lacrosse, Wis., July 1.—Beports from the district east of Lacrosse which was swept by a tor-
uado last night show at least 46 persons killed,
oue fatally injured, many less seriously hurt ami
tbe damage much greater than at lirst reported.
Oakdale, with a population of 500 was almost
swept away. At Torres a womau aud child were
killed, several others were injured aud many buildings were destroyed.
San Francisco, July 4.—William Squires, tbe
much heralded champion of Australia, succumbed
today iu tbe lirst round iu his contest with Thomas
Burus at Culma after they had lieeu in tbe ring
two miuutes; 9,000 persous wituessed the round
which lasted exactly 2 minutes and H seconds.
The receipts were far beyond all expectations.
The euclosure was crowded aud it is estimated
that the proceeds were between £5,000 and £5,400.
Burus gets £.3,(300 aud Squires takes 24 per cent,
of tbe gross receipts, about £1,260.
LAWN TENNLS CHAMPIONSHIP.
London, Jnly 5.—In tbe All-England Tennis
Cbanipiouship, ladies' singles, at Wimbledon today, Miss May Suttou of California defeated Miss
Chambers iu the championship rouud hy 2 sets to
uil. Miss Sutton thus wou hack the title of British champion of whioh she was deprived last year
by Mrs. Chambers aud then Miss Douglas.
INDIA.
UBAVE SITUATION.
New York, July 5.—A despatch from Loudou
to the "Suu" says that Iudiau despatches represent the trouble in India as iucreasiug. A correspondent wbo has returued to Calcutta from three
tours of the must disaffected districts ia Bengal,
says that tbe seriousness of tbe situation is hardly
realized by the Europeans in India or at home.
Tbe discontent has spread amoug the landholders
and tbe Bsugal aristocracy as well as among the
peasants and coolies. An aotive organization
known as national voluuteers whiob has branches
in almost every town aud village is being trained
iu arohery and sword practice hy well paid instructors. They preach everywhere revolt against
British rale aud actively advocate the boyoott of
British goods. Men who cauuot lie threatened
and who still maintain relations with English offi-
ciale are punished by a social boyoott, the deadliest weapon that cau lie employed against a Hindu.
Mauy tales of lawlessness and oppression by the
national volunteers come from every district. The
rural police are too weak or too disaffected to take
action. The people are gradoally losing respect
for order and authority. Several landowers have
usurped executive and administrative powers by
imprisoning tenants. In the Barisal distriot committees of pnblio safety bave been formed. Tbey
committees bold judicial inqiuires, summon witnesses and punish offenders. The government has
exhausted its reserve of polioe and bas borrowed
companies of Goorkas from Assam and military
polioe from other provinces. These are posted in
small batches about the oountry but are unable to
prevent the persecution of loyalists. The worst feature of the situation is the growing number of assaults on Europeans. Europeans go about armed
with revolvers. European passengers carry shotguns iu trains. A traflio officer said there was danger of certain sections of the line being closed owing
to tbe reluctance of guards and drivers to take
out tbe trains. The impression is gaining strength
that firearms are being imported into eastern
Bengal. All over Bengal national schools financed entirely by Bengalese, and disclaiming all
connection with tbe government are springing np.
The government aided schools in Calcutta are
openly defying the recent governmeut circular
prohibiting students from attending political
meetings. Tbe students not only address tbe
meetings but implore the reporters to mentiou
their names in the newspapers.
DOMINION STEEL COMPANY.
Montreal, July 4.—Several important announcements centered around to days developments in
tbe matter of tbe Dominion Steel Company's
postponed annual meeting. In the first place the
fact became kuown that Mr. W. H. Plummer,
President of the Steel Corporation bad formally accepted the resignations of uo less than tbree directors of his company aud that a fourth resignation may lie expected. The retiring directors
are Messrs. F. H. Pearson of New York, W. B.
Boss, k i*., of Halifax aud E. K. Wood of Toronto.
It is expected tbat Mr. H. M. Whitney of Boston
will be dealt with by Mr. PInmmer in a similar
manner within a few days.
CRICKET.
Enoland XI ▼. South African XI.
Loudon, July 4—With the score standing at
488 to the oredit of the English team against 140
only for the Soutb Africans, the latter followed
on and had made good progress towards wipiug
off the balance against them, wben the match
had to be abandoned on accouut of the inclemency
of the weather. For the loss of tbree wickets
they had piled np 185 ruus, to which total Sber-
well had contributed 115.
London, Jnly 6—Sussex in their first innings
agaiust the South Africans made tbe small total of
186 ruus all out. South Africans going in for tbe
secoud innings, scored 231 for tbe loss of seven
wickets, Sinclair topping tbe scores witb 92 ruus.
HENLEY REGATTA
Henley, Euglaud, July 4.—So much confidence
had beeu reposed in the crew of tbe Leander R.C.
entered for the Grand Challenge Cup this year,
that the result of the second heat, to-day, oame as
a grievous disappointment aud surprise to all rowing enthusiasts It now looks as if the Belgians
are destined to carry off the coveted trophy Hr _Te
secoud year iu succession for tbe orew seut over
by tbe Club Nautique de Gaud, this morning, in
the 2nd heat defeated Great Britain's crack eight.
The struggle was a punishing one heing rowed iu
the teeth of a strong wind, but tbe Belgians ultimately pulled away from Leander and won by a
leugth and a third. Time 7 minutes 50 seconds.
This contest bas overshadowed everything else at
this years meeting us rowing experts were satisfied
that the winners of to-days race were piactically
certaiu hi pull off the filial to-morrow and secure
tbe cup. The Belgians opponents iu the final will
he Christ Church, Oxford, who this afternoon
easily defeated the Thames Rowing Cluh. Time 8
minutes '.i seconds.
Henley, Euglaud, July 5.—The water carnival
closed to-day. Tbe weather throughout was oold
aud dismal and the annual pic-nic was entirely
shorn of its usual brightness aud gaiety. The
Belgians as anticipated carried off the principal
trophy, tbe Graud Challenge Cup, fur the second
year iu succession, defeating Christ Church Oxford
iu the final by a bare length after a good race.
Time 7 miuutes 150 seconds. Captain Darrell of
the First Life Guards wou the Diamond Sculls,
defeating Mr. Alexander MoL'ullocb by a length
and a quarter. 1 aie 9 minutes 24 secoud.
THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
The Hague, July 2.—The sub-committee of the
Peace Conference appointed to cousider the treatment of belligerent ships in neutral harbours met
today. Count Ternielly (Italy) presiding. The
oommittee discussed six articles of Jthe German
proposition making additions to tbe Convention of
1880, for tbe adoption of tbe Red Cross Convention
iu warfare at sea. .
The Hague, Jnly 4.—The sub-committee of the
Peace conference appointed to cousider the proposed prize court, under the Presidency of M. Bourgeois, met today aud discussed the proposition put
forward by Euglaud aud Germany for the establishment of au International Supreme Prize Court.
Baron Marschall von Bierberstein (Germany)
made a speech explaining tbe German project,
aud Sir Edward Fry (Great Britain) aud several
other delegates made brief statements ou tbe subject. Geueral Horace Porter said tbe Amerioaus
wished to present their statements iu writing.
Four, out of tbe eight questions which make up
the whole proposition, were approved. M. Bourgeois gave notice tbat Presidents of committees
had agreed, witb the view of hastening the work,
that uo new questions sball lie introduced after tbe eud of the preseut week, aud tbat further
modifications cau only be proposed as amendments.
Tbe Hague, July 5—Tbe sub-committee of the
Peace Conference ou tbe rights aud duties of neutral powers in times uf war, etc., met to-day, M.
Nelidoff, President of tiie Conference, being present. Tbe French proposition, providing that
tbere shall be a declaration of war before tbe
opening of hostilities aud the amendment of the
Netherlands establishing a delay of twenty-four
hours lietween a declaration of war and tbe opening of hostilities, were lengthily discussed. Tbe
military delegates of the Netherlands and Franoe
made long speeches explaining tbeir respective
propositions and Baron Marschall Von Bierbestein
(Germany) said Germany accepts in its entirety
the French proposition wbioh she considers oon-
foruis with the modern progress of warfare." Mr
Joseph H Choate (United States), Lord Reay
(Great Britain) and M Tsuzuki (Japan) declared
they reserved their opinion on the whole principal
of tbe French aud tbe Dutch propositions and
consequently a vote on tbe subject was postponed
until the next meeting of tbe sub-oommittee.
Seoul, July 5—Marquis Ito at tbe palace here
interrogated tbe Emperor regarding the presenoe
at the Hague of a deputation seeking recognition
ou tbe olaim tbat Japan has broken her pledge to
maintain Korean independence. Tbe Emperor
denied having any knowledge of the deputation
or its aotion whereupon Marqnis Ito remarked
"It is not necessary to inquire wbo is responsible j
for the deputation as its actions are self-explana
tory and the whole world is in possession of tbe
facts." In an interview, Marqnis Ito said, tbat
the Emperor's persistence in suoh intringnes constitute a hostile aotion against the Japanese wbioh
mnst be stopped. Measures intended to rid tbe
palaoe ot foreign and native mischief makers and
adventurers were introduced by the Japanese last
Monday bnt Marqnis Ito despairs of saving the
Emperor himself and the administration is disposed to confine its appeal to tbe people. Marquis Ito declared that it wonld require ten years
to prodnce a modern government in Korea, while
local governors say it will take three years to dispose of tbe abuses aud outrages resulting from
contact of the Koreans with the Japanese.
THE 4th OF JULT.
London, Jnly 4—Tbe customary 4th of July
banquet was beld to-night at tbe Hotel Cecil and
was largely attended. The guests included Mr.
Whitelaw Reid, the American ambassador, Mr.
Justioe Oliver Weudell Holmes, of tbe United
States Supreme Court, General Sir Evslyn Wood,
Sir Henry Mortimer Dnrand, late British minister
to tbe States, and many others. The veteran
humorist, Mark Twain, arrived towards the end
of tbe banquet and was enthusiastically received.
Mr. Whitelaw Reid delivered an interesting discourse, the most notable passage of whicb was his
reference to the Japanese troubles. "Two great
nations," said be, ** who have been friends from
the beginning, and wbo hold similar in their respective hemispheres are uot going to hunt ont a
pretext for a quarrel iu small outbreaks in restaurants and bar-rooms, however muoh such incidents are to he guarded against and deplored."
London, July 4—Owing to the considerable
crowd of persons attended, tbe American Fourth
of July reception tbis afternoon, in several streets
in tbe vicinity of Winchester House, the residence
of the American Ambassador, tbe traffic was
blocked for a couple of hours. Mr. Reid and the
ladies of the Embassy reoeived the guests, who
included most of the American residents in London and hundreds of visitors.
Chicago, Ilia., July 5—The "Tribune" to-day
says 37 men, women and childreu were killed and
215 are tuaiued, lacerated or burned as a resnlt of
yesterday's excess of patriotism ia the United
States. The roster of the dead is four more than
last year's mortality. The figures show that this
year as last most of the casualties were due to
carelessness in handling fire crackers and other
" harmless explosives."
THE WINE-GROWERS' MOVEMENT.
Paris, July 5.—Tbe civil strike which was set
on foot in tbe sonth of Franoe, through sympathy
with the wine growers: movement is gradually
going to pieces. The Mayorslaiidlmnuicipal councils of Montpelier and other affected places, recognizing the futility of persisting in tbeir present
attitude, have withdrawn their resignations.
CANADT\\ FINANCE.
Ottawa, 'July a—'Way the Fiuauce Department issued its fiuauoial statement for the fiscal
period ending Marcb 31st. This sbotvs a surplus
over all expenditures of $2,192,542. Tbe nett
debt has heeu decreased by SI, 371,000. Tbe total
revenne amounted to $67,969,328, and tbe expenditure on ordinary accounts was $51,542,161
while the capital expenditure was $14,234,625,
leaving as already stated a surplus over all expenditures of $2,192,512 Mr. Fielding predicted a
surplus over all expendituies of $1,500,000.
JAPAN AND THE STATES.
Tokio, July 6—It is tepoited from New Yoik
that the President has officially ooufirnied tbe despatch of sixteen battleships to the Pacific coast.
The report has provoked little comment here,
though in certain quarters there is an inclination
to read betweeu the lines either a sinister motive
ou the part of a certain section nf the American
people who are alllicted witb the anti-Japanese
mania, or tbe machinations of a tool of a certain
third power which is trying to reap a lienelit from
tbe quarrels of others.
Manila, July 6—In the Philippines the report
of naval activity is causing considerable excitement. Tbe leading independent organs of the
Filipinos have announced their sympathies as being entirely with the Americans against tbe Japanese. All the Japauese labourers employed in
the navy-yard at Alougapo bave been discharged.
New York, N T, July 6—According to despatch to the Heiald from Manila all of the Japauese working oa the fortifications aud along the
Alongapo and Cavite naval stations have been discharged inoluding experts wbo have been in the
service for some years. It is asserted by officers
stationed at Manila, tbe Herald declares, tbat the
orders for this action came direct from Washington and are peremptory. Wbeu interviewed Rear
Admiral Hemphill and other naval officers deuied
tbat auy extraordinary preparations were uuder
way.
Londou, July 6.—The English press this moruing finds in the trausfer of au American fleet tu
tbe Pacifio a subject of all-absorbing interest
Many of tbe newspapers, of couise, see in it a significant step on tbe part of the States, hut the
" Morniug Poet " iu a masterly editorial article
regards tbis move as a most natural aud intelligible outcome of the new position the Uuited States
has won as*a world power, and expresses wonder
that this decision bas uot lieen taken before. It
does not necessarily connect tbe move witb the
preseut Japanese trouble, aud regards a serious
quarrel between Japan and tbe States in the near
future as utterly ont of tbe question. It ratber
looks npon shis uew departure as a clever move in
America's domestic politics, emphasizing in tbe
eyes of that country, ae II surely must du, the
enormous distance that divides tbe Atlantic from
the Pacific seaboaid, aud tbns impressing upon tbe
Americau people tbe necessity to provide money
nut ouly to briug the Panama Canal to a speedy
completion but also to build another fleet.
London, July 27.—The pre-ent tension betweeu
Japan and the United States is exciting the keenest interest among all the Europeon diplomats.
None of tbem, however, seriously believe that it
will reaob tbe stage of actual war. The general
opiuion is that the heavy burden of debt incurred
by the Japanese nation as a result of ber failure
to obtain an indenity from Russia after the late
war with that oountry will preclude any possibility of her embarking on a similar costly enterprise dnring the next decade. ^^
It is recognized, however, that even iu the
event of war being staved off, the United States is
incurring the bitter enmity of Japan, whioh, iu
the event of trouble with any other power, may
prove a serious handicap.
Berlin Jnly 7.—The oonviotion of an ultimate
oonfliot between Japan aad the States appears to
be widespread in Germany. Wherever diplomatists and military and naval offioials and others
aooumtomed to follow the tread 4 international
politics gather together, this subject is bound to
be referred ta. As far as President Roosevelt
himself ie oonoerned, the papers agree that he is
earnestly doing all in his power to satisfy tbe Japanese requests, which requests the papers also
agree are by ao means unreasonable. Bnt they
recognize that the real difficulty lies in tbe question of race, the economio antagonism of the Cali-
fornians against the Japanese, and the constitutional impossibility of federal coercion.
Paris, July 7.—President Roosevelt's decision
to dispatoh a fleet of warships to the Pacific bas
led tbe more sensational newspapers in Franoe to
jump at tbe conclusion that the situation is more
delicate tban appears on tbe surface. This view,
however, is absolutely repudiated in responsible
circles where tbe utmost confidence is expressed
tbat existing or further differences between the
United States will be amicably adjusted.
Washington, Jnly 7.—Tbat the Japanese government will not consent to the renewal of tbe
present treaty withe United States if this government reserves the right to insert a olause in the
compact excluding Japanese coolie labour from
continental United States, is indicated by semiofficial advices purporting to give tbe views of the
foreigu minister Hayashe, which were received
here today from Ottotaka Yamaoka, tbe personal
representative of Count Okyiua, leader of tbe progressive party. Mr. Yamaoka is authority for the
statement that the foreigu minister has received
from Mr. Root a preliminary "note" regarding
the new treaty whiob the two governments propose to submit tor tbe convention whicb expiies
Jnly 17, 1911. Witb reference to the note submitted hy Mr. Root, Mr. Yamaoka says that the
foreign minister has issued a confidential memorandum outlining the Japauese Government's
views on the qnestion of the limitation of
immigration, whiob in substance ia as follows:
first, tbat tbe Government of Japan has rejected
tbe proposal, and will not in the future entertain
any snoh proposition; second, that in the new
treaty which is to be operated from tbe 44th year
of Meiji, 1911, tbe Government of Japan will insist upon striking out Article 2, Clanse 4, (defining the power received by tbe contracting parties to enact laws witb regard to police and immigration regulations) and for that purpose tbe
Government of Japau shall take a most vigorous
attitude. Although the negotiations for tbat end
are not yet developed, it is firmly believed that
tbe Government of the United States will fight
witb determination to preserve the olause; third,
that tbe Government of Japau contemplates sending representatives to tbe United States to investigate conditions on tbe Pacific coast aud to determine if the Japauese residents are discriminated
against.
TYPEWRITERIT1S.
Nervousness that displays itself in constantly
tapping the Uugers is said to be exhibited to some
exteut by typewriter girls, says the New York
Suu. Expert typewriter operators use eight
lingers at their work.
The steady concentration aud extreme speed,
in some, cases, seem to produce a ligital numbness tbat occasionally becomes a prononnoed as to
interfere witb tbe ability of the typewriters. Ia
some cases impatient employers, failing to comprehend the cause of their stenographers' trouble,
have discharged tbem.
If the girl afflicted with this finger-tapping
trouble mauages to do her work properly and
speedily she pays for her grit. The bothersome
numbness leaves ber figuers soon after the day's
grind at the typewriter is ended, and is succeeded
by tbe nervousness tbat many of the victims oonsider far more objectionable.
All that is required by the typewriter girl suffering from tbis disorder is a table, the arm of a
chair, a book or liag ia her lap, or any other
object upou whicb sbe may rest her wrist and
begin the ceaseless tapping.
•* Typewriteritis" might desorilie the malady.
The eight fingers of the viotim thrum idly tbe
moment she sits dowu to dinner. A stranger
noting the movement watches for it to cease, bnt
tbere is no let-up.
Any one may feel a desire to drum with his
fingers, a few minutes witbont considering himself nervous, bnt it ia the desire of the typewriter
girl to ooutiuue it indefinitely tbat marks ber
as a victim and generally makes ber friends
equally fidgety. Typewriters who operate the
keys slowly need have oo fear of the trouble.

JAPANESE LOSSES IN THE WAR.
Oue of the charges brought against the Japanese
by tbe correspondents serving in tbe field with
the Japanese armies during tbe late war with
Russia was that the oommanders of the Mikado's
forces uever allowed a correct list of the meu lost
by land and sea to go forth. 1 'util recently outside nations have not known what was the loss
to the island empire in terms of men slain in the
laud and naval engagements of the war, and now
the trne figures oome ont throngb a peculiar circumstance.
Ou May 1 there was celebrated at the Yasu-
kuni shrine iu Tokio the third and last great ceremony in honour of the souls of the dead patriots
of the war. Because the Emperor had decided
that no man's soul shall be slighted because of
politic paring down of the list of casualties tbe
ceremony which took place ou May 1 was all inclusive. It took iu those to whom former honors
were done, those that died of tbeir ■vi.nuds after
tbe termination of tbe war aud, by imperative
order of the Emperor, those non-combatants who
lost their lives in tbe discharge of tbeir dnties
in both branches of the service.
A total of the souls worshipped at the three
ceremonies gives the complete toll of the war as
far as the Japanese war aud naval officers have
lieeu able ta verify tbe records. It is as
as follows :—Souls worshipped, first ceremonial
251,550, second ceremonial 30,877, third ceremonial 24,421. total 84,848.
Tbis worship in honor of the souls of the dead
soldiers and sailors iu Japau partakes somewhat of
the nature of Memorial Day save that the religions
element in the ceremonies is stronger. Shinto and
Bnddhist priests both oouduot services of an impressive character, aud usually high officers of the
army and uavy staud forth in turn before the multitude of worshippers aud read eulogistic addresses to the spirits of the dead heroes, addressing
them as if they were present and participating in
the rites. At tbe last services Admiral Togo and
tbe Emperor himself conducted uue of the services
aud the Empress and Prinoe Imperial lent tbe
dignity of the imperial presence to the second.
No complete list of the casualties suffered by
the Russians has ever been published. Oue authority has it that tbe Russiuu dead uud wounded
during the war amounted to 388,500, hut of this
numlier he does uot specify how mauy were killed.
NEW BRITISH ARMY CHIEF.
Mnoh satisfaction is felt in British military
oircles that* so capable an officer as Sir William
Nioholson has heen chosen as Chief of the General
Staff and Fii>t Military Member of the Army
Connoil in succession ta Sir Neville Lyttleton,
who now takes over the command ol the forces in
Ireland.
Few officers have greater claims to fame than
General Nicholson, hut he will perhaps be most
fondly remembered as the man who reorganized
tbe Intelligence Department ont of the chantio
mnddle into whiob it was thrown hy the Sonth
Afrioan War. Most of bis time has been passed
in India, wbere he made a great name for himself
as an administrator, and incidentally as a wbist
player. He bas seen plenty of fighting, his latest
experience of war being gained as chief military
attache to the Japauese army in the Manohurian
operation.
Of tall and athletic hnild, Sir William looks
the typical soldier. His features are strongly
marked, and be weais au habitual air of deep
thought. His energy is untiring, and he invariably displays a determination to get to the root of
things that is at times positively disconcerting to
a subordinate who is inclined to he slack. Tbe
reputation whioh he has in Pall Mall of being
a terrible martinet is, however, quite undeserved.

Lacrosse, Wis., July 1.—Beports from the district east of Lacrosse which was swept by a tor-
uado last night show at least 46 persons killed,
oue fatally injured, many less seriously hurt ami
tbe damage much greater than at lirst reported.
Oakdale, with a population of 500 was almost
swept away. At Torres a womau aud child were
killed, several others were injured aud many buildings were destroyed.
San Francisco, July 4.—William Squires, tbe
much heralded champion of Australia, succumbed
today iu tbe lirst round iu his contest with Thomas
Burus at Culma after they had lieeu in tbe ring
two miuutes; 9,000 persous wituessed the round

Cbanipiouship, ladies' singles, at Wimbledon today, Miss May Suttou of California defeated Miss

by Mrs. Chambers aud then Miss Douglas.
INDIA.
UBAVE SITUATION.
New York, July 5.—A despatch from Loudou
to the "Suu" says that Iudiau despatches represent the trouble in India as iucreasiug. A correspondent wbo has returued to Calcutta from three
tours of the must disaffected districts ia Bengal,
says that tbe seriousness of tbe situation is hardly
realized by the Europeans in India or at home.
Tbe discontent has spread amoug the landholders
and tbe Bsugal aristocracy as well as among the
peasants and coolies. An aotive organization
known as national voluuteers whiob has branches
in almost every town aud village is being trained
iu arohery and sword practice hy well paid instructors. They preach everywhere revolt against
British rale aud actively advocate the boyoott of
British goods. Men who cauuot lie threatened
and who still maintain relations with English offi-
ciale are punished by a social boyoott, the deadliest weapon that cau lie employed against a Hindu.
Mauy tales of lawlessness and oppression by the
national volunteers come from every district. The
rural police are too weak or too disaffected to take
action. The people are gradoally losing respect
for order and authority. Several landowers have
usurped executive and administrative powers by
imprisoning tenants. In the Barisal distriot committees of pnblio safety bave been formed. Tbey
committees bold judicial inqiuires, summon witnesses and punish offenders. The government has
exhausted its reserve of polioe and bas borrowed
companies of Goorkas from Assam and military
polioe from other provinces. These are posted in
small batches about the oountry but are unable to
prevent the persecution of loyalists. The worst feature of the situation is the growing number of assaults on Europeans. Europeans go about armed
with revolvers. European passengers carry shotguns iu trains. A traflio officer said there was danger of certain sections of the line being closed owing
to tbe reluctance of guards and drivers to take
out tbe trains. The impression is gaining strength
that firearms are being imported into eastern
Bengal. All over Bengal national schools financed entirely by Bengalese, and disclaiming all
connection with tbe government are springing np.
The government aided schools in Calcutta are
openly defying the recent governmeut circular
prohibiting students from attending political
meetings. Tbe students not only address tbe
meetings but implore the reporters to mentiou
their names in the newspapers.
DOMINION STEEL COMPANY.
Montreal, July 4.—Several important announcements centered around to days developments in
tbe matter of tbe Dominion Steel Company's
postponed annual meeting. In the first place the
fact became kuown that Mr. W. H. Plummer,
President of the Steel Corporation bad formally accepted the resignations of uo less than tbree directors of his company aud that a fourth resignation may lie expected. The retiring directors
are Messrs. F. H. Pearson of New York, W. B.
Boss, k i*., of Halifax aud E. K. Wood of Toronto.
It is expected tbat Mr. H. M. Whitney of Boston
will be dealt with by Mr. PInmmer in a similar
manner within a few days.

Loudon, July 4—With the score standing at
488 to the oredit of the English team against 140
only for the Soutb Africans, the latter followed

well had contributed 115.

secoud innings, scored 231 for tbe loss of seven

HENLEY REGATTA
Henley, Euglaud, July 4.—So much confidence
had beeu reposed in the crew of tbe Leander R.C.
entered for the Grand Challenge Cup this year,
that the result of the second heat, to-day, oame as
a grievous disappointment aud surprise to all rowing enthusiasts It now looks as if the Belgians
are destined to carry off the coveted trophy Hr _Te

tbe cup. The Belgians opponents iu the final will
he Christ Church, Oxford, who this afternoon
easily defeated the Thames Rowing Cluh. Time 8
minutes '.i seconds.
Henley, Euglaud, July 5.—The water carnival
closed to-day. Tbe weather throughout was oold
aud dismal and the annual pic-nic was entirely
shorn of its usual brightness aud gaiety. The
Belgians as anticipated carried off the principal
trophy, tbe Graud Challenge Cup, fur the second
year iu succession, defeating Christ Church Oxford
iu the final by a bare length after a good race.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
The Hague, July 2.—The sub-committee of the
Peace Conference appointed to cousider the treatment of belligerent ships in neutral harbours met
today. Count Ternielly (Italy) presiding. The
oommittee discussed six articles of Jthe German
proposition making additions to tbe Convention of
1880, for tbe adoption of tbe Red Cross Convention
iu warfare at sea. .
The Hague, Jnly 4.—The sub-committee of the
Peace conference appointed to cousider the proposed prize court, under the Presidency of M. Bourgeois, met today aud discussed the proposition put
forward by Euglaud aud Germany for the establishment of au International Supreme Prize Court.
Baron Marschall von Bierberstein (Germany)
made a speech explaining tbe German project,
aud Sir Edward Fry (Great Britain) aud several
other delegates made brief statements ou tbe subject. Geueral Horace Porter said tbe Amerioaus
wished to present their statements iu writing.
Four, out of tbe eight questions which make up
the whole proposition, were approved. M. Bourgeois gave notice tbat Presidents of committees
had agreed, witb the view of hastening the work,
that uo new questions sball lie introduced after tbe eud of the preseut week, aud tbat further
modifications cau only be proposed as amendments.
Tbe Hague, July 5—Tbe sub-committee of the
Peace Conference ou tbe rights aud duties of neutral powers in times uf war, etc., met to-day, M.
Nelidoff, President of tiie Conference, being present. Tbe French proposition, providing that
tbere shall be a declaration of war before tbe
opening of hostilities aud the amendment of the
Netherlands establishing a delay of twenty-four
hours lietween a declaration of war and tbe opening of hostilities, were lengthily discussed. Tbe
military delegates of the Netherlands and Franoe
made long speeches explaining tbeir respective
propositions and Baron Marschall Von Bierbestein
(Germany) said Germany accepts in its entirety
the French proposition wbioh she considers oon-
foruis with the modern progress of warfare." Mr
Joseph H Choate (United States), Lord Reay
(Great Britain) and M Tsuzuki (Japan) declared
they reserved their opinion on the whole principal
of tbe French aud tbe Dutch propositions and
consequently a vote on tbe subject was postponed
until the next meeting of tbe sub-oommittee.
Seoul, July 5—Marquis Ito at tbe palace here
interrogated tbe Emperor regarding the presenoe
at the Hague of a deputation seeking recognition
ou tbe olaim tbat Japan has broken her pledge to
maintain Korean independence. Tbe Emperor
denied having any knowledge of the deputation
or its aotion whereupon Marqnis Ito remarked
"It is not necessary to inquire wbo is responsible j
for the deputation as its actions are self-explana
tory and the whole world is in possession of tbe
facts." In an interview, Marqnis Ito said, tbat
the Emperor's persistence in suoh intringnes constitute a hostile aotion against the Japanese wbioh
mnst be stopped. Measures intended to rid tbe
palaoe ot foreign and native mischief makers and
adventurers were introduced by the Japanese last
Monday bnt Marqnis Ito despairs of saving the
Emperor himself and the administration is disposed to confine its appeal to tbe people. Marquis Ito declared that it wonld require ten years
to prodnce a modern government in Korea, while
local governors say it will take three years to dispose of tbe abuses aud outrages resulting from
contact of the Koreans with the Japanese.
THE 4th OF JULT.
London, Jnly 4—Tbe customary 4th of July
banquet was beld to-night at tbe Hotel Cecil and
was largely attended. The guests included Mr.
Whitelaw Reid, the American ambassador, Mr.
Justioe Oliver Weudell Holmes, of tbe United
States Supreme Court, General Sir Evslyn Wood,
Sir Henry Mortimer Dnrand, late British minister
to tbe States, and many others. The veteran
humorist, Mark Twain, arrived towards the end
of tbe banquet and was enthusiastically received.
Mr. Whitelaw Reid delivered an interesting discourse, the most notable passage of whicb was his
reference to the Japanese troubles. "Two great
nations," said be, ** who have been friends from
the beginning, and wbo hold similar in their respective hemispheres are uot going to hunt ont a
pretext for a quarrel iu small outbreaks in restaurants and bar-rooms, however muoh such incidents are to he guarded against and deplored."
London, July 4—Owing to the considerable
crowd of persons attended, tbe American Fourth
of July reception tbis afternoon, in several streets
in tbe vicinity of Winchester House, the residence
of the American Ambassador, tbe traffic was
blocked for a couple of hours. Mr. Reid and the
ladies of the Embassy reoeived the guests, who
included most of the American residents in London and hundreds of visitors.
Chicago, Ilia., July 5—The "Tribune" to-day
says 37 men, women and childreu were killed and
215 are tuaiued, lacerated or burned as a resnlt of
yesterday's excess of patriotism ia the United
States. The roster of the dead is four more than
last year's mortality. The figures show that this
year as last most of the casualties were due to
carelessness in handling fire crackers and other
" harmless explosives."
THE WINE-GROWERS' MOVEMENT.
Paris, July 5.—Tbe civil strike which was set
on foot in tbe sonth of Franoe, through sympathy
with the wine growers: movement is gradually
going to pieces. The Mayorslaiidlmnuicipal councils of Montpelier and other affected places, recognizing the futility of persisting in tbeir present
attitude, have withdrawn their resignations.
CANADT\\ FINANCE.
Ottawa, 'July a—'Way the Fiuauce Department issued its fiuauoial statement for the fiscal
period ending Marcb 31st. This sbotvs a surplus
over all expenditures of $2,192,542. Tbe nett
debt has heeu decreased by SI, 371,000. Tbe total
revenne amounted to $67,969,328, and tbe expenditure on ordinary accounts was $51,542,161
while the capital expenditure was $14,234,625,
leaving as already stated a surplus over all expenditures of $2,192,512 Mr. Fielding predicted a
surplus over all expendituies of $1,500,000.
JAPAN AND THE STATES.
Tokio, July 6—It is tepoited from New Yoik
that the President has officially ooufirnied tbe despatch of sixteen battleships to the Pacific coast.
The report has provoked little comment here,
though in certain quarters there is an inclination
to read betweeu the lines either a sinister motive
ou the part of a certain section nf the American
people who are alllicted witb the anti-Japanese
mania, or tbe machinations of a tool of a certain
third power which is trying to reap a lienelit from
tbe quarrels of others.
Manila, July 6—In the Philippines the report
of naval activity is causing considerable excitement. Tbe leading independent organs of the
Filipinos have announced their sympathies as being entirely with the Americans against tbe Japanese. All the Japauese labourers employed in
the navy-yard at Alougapo bave been discharged.
New York, N T, July 6—According to despatch to the Heiald from Manila all of the Japauese working oa the fortifications aud along the
Alongapo and Cavite naval stations have been discharged inoluding experts wbo have been in the
service for some years. It is asserted by officers
stationed at Manila, tbe Herald declares, tbat the
orders for this action came direct from Washington and are peremptory. Wbeu interviewed Rear
Admiral Hemphill and other naval officers deuied
tbat auy extraordinary preparations were uuder
way.
Londou, July 6.—The English press this moruing finds in the trausfer of au American fleet tu
tbe Pacifio a subject of all-absorbing interest
Many of tbe newspapers, of couise, see in it a significant step on tbe part of the States, hut the
" Morniug Poet " iu a masterly editorial article
regards tbis move as a most natural aud intelligible outcome of the new position the Uuited States
has won as*a world power, and expresses wonder
that this decision bas uot lieen taken before. It
does not necessarily connect tbe move witb the
preseut Japanese trouble, aud regards a serious
quarrel between Japan and tbe States in the near
future as utterly ont of tbe question. It ratber
looks npon shis uew departure as a clever move in
America's domestic politics, emphasizing in tbe
eyes of that country, ae II surely must du, the
enormous distance that divides tbe Atlantic from
the Pacific seaboaid, aud tbns impressing upon tbe
Americau people tbe necessity to provide money
nut ouly to briug the Panama Canal to a speedy
completion but also to build another fleet.
London, July 27.—The pre-ent tension betweeu
Japan and the United States is exciting the keenest interest among all the Europeon diplomats.
None of tbem, however, seriously believe that it
will reaob tbe stage of actual war. The general
opiuion is that the heavy burden of debt incurred
by the Japanese nation as a result of ber failure
to obtain an indenity from Russia after the late
war with that oountry will preclude any possibility of her embarking on a similar costly enterprise dnring the next decade. ^^
It is recognized, however, that even iu the
event of war being staved off, the United States is
incurring the bitter enmity of Japan, whioh, iu
the event of trouble with any other power, may
prove a serious handicap.
Berlin Jnly 7.—The oonviotion of an ultimate
oonfliot between Japan aad the States appears to
be widespread in Germany. Wherever diplomatists and military and naval offioials and others
aooumtomed to follow the tread 4 international
politics gather together, this subject is bound to
be referred ta. As far as President Roosevelt
himself ie oonoerned, the papers agree that he is
earnestly doing all in his power to satisfy tbe Japanese requests, which requests the papers also
agree are by ao means unreasonable. Bnt they
recognize that the real difficulty lies in tbe question of race, the economio antagonism of the Cali-
fornians against the Japanese, and the constitutional impossibility of federal coercion.
Paris, July 7.—President Roosevelt's decision
to dispatoh a fleet of warships to the Pacific bas
led tbe more sensational newspapers in Franoe to
jump at tbe conclusion that the situation is more
delicate tban appears on tbe surface. This view,
however, is absolutely repudiated in responsible
circles where tbe utmost confidence is expressed
tbat existing or further differences between the
United States will be amicably adjusted.
Washington, Jnly 7.—Tbat the Japanese government will not consent to the renewal of tbe
present treaty withe United States if this government reserves the right to insert a olause in the
compact excluding Japanese coolie labour from
continental United States, is indicated by semiofficial advices purporting to give tbe views of the
foreigu minister Hayashe, which were received
here today from Ottotaka Yamaoka, tbe personal
representative of Count Okyiua, leader of tbe progressive party. Mr. Yamaoka is authority for the
statement that the foreigu minister has received
from Mr. Root a preliminary "note" regarding
the new treaty whiob the two governments propose to submit tor tbe convention whicb expiies
Jnly 17, 1911. Witb reference to the note submitted hy Mr. Root, Mr. Yamaoka says that the
foreign minister has issued a confidential memorandum outlining the Japauese Government's
views on the qnestion of the limitation of
immigration, whiob in substance ia as follows:
first, tbat tbe Government of Japan has rejected
tbe proposal, and will not in the future entertain
any snoh proposition; second, that in the new
treaty which is to be operated from tbe 44th year
of Meiji, 1911, tbe Government of Japan will insist upon striking out Article 2, Clanse 4, (defining the power received by tbe contracting parties to enact laws witb regard to police and immigration regulations) and for that purpose tbe
Government of Japau shall take a most vigorous
attitude. Although the negotiations for tbat end
are not yet developed, it is firmly believed that
tbe Government of the United States will fight
witb determination to preserve the olause; third,
that tbe Government of Japau contemplates sending representatives to tbe United States to investigate conditions on tbe Pacific coast aud to determine if the Japauese residents are discriminated
against.
TYPEWRITERIT1S.
Nervousness that displays itself in constantly
tapping the Uugers is said to be exhibited to some
exteut by typewriter girls, says the New York
Suu. Expert typewriter operators use eight
lingers at their work.
The steady concentration aud extreme speed,
in some, cases, seem to produce a ligital numbness tbat occasionally becomes a prononnoed as to
interfere witb tbe ability of the typewriters. Ia
some cases impatient employers, failing to comprehend the cause of their stenographers' trouble,
have discharged tbem.
If the girl afflicted with this finger-tapping
trouble mauages to do her work properly and
speedily she pays for her grit. The bothersome
numbness leaves ber figuers soon after the day's
grind at the typewriter is ended, and is succeeded
by tbe nervousness tbat many of the victims oonsider far more objectionable.
All that is required by the typewriter girl suffering from tbis disorder is a table, the arm of a
chair, a book or liag ia her lap, or any other
object upou whicb sbe may rest her wrist and
begin the ceaseless tapping.
•* Typewriteritis" might desorilie the malady.
The eight fingers of the viotim thrum idly tbe
moment she sits dowu to dinner. A stranger
noting the movement watches for it to cease, bnt
tbere is no let-up.
Any one may feel a desire to drum with his
fingers, a few minutes witbont considering himself nervous, bnt it ia the desire of the typewriter
girl to ooutiuue it indefinitely tbat marks ber
as a victim and generally makes ber friends
equally fidgety. Typewriters who operate the
keys slowly need have oo fear of the trouble.

JAPANESE LOSSES IN THE WAR.
Oue of the charges brought against the Japanese
by tbe correspondents serving in tbe field with
the Japanese armies during tbe late war with
Russia was that the oommanders of the Mikado's
forces uever allowed a correct list of the meu lost
by land and sea to go forth. 1 'util recently outside nations have not known what was the loss
to the island empire in terms of men slain in the
laud and naval engagements of the war, and now
the trne figures oome ont throngb a peculiar circumstance.
Ou May 1 there was celebrated at the Yasu-
kuni shrine iu Tokio the third and last great ceremony in honour of the souls of the dead patriots
of the war. Because the Emperor had decided
that no man's soul shall be slighted because of
politic paring down of the list of casualties tbe
ceremony which took place ou May 1 was all inclusive. It took iu those to whom former honors
were done, those that died of tbeir ■vi.nuds after
tbe termination of tbe war aud, by imperative
order of the Emperor, those non-combatants who
lost their lives in tbe discharge of tbeir dnties
in both branches of the service.
A total of the souls worshipped at the three
ceremonies gives the complete toll of the war as
far as the Japanese war aud naval officers have
lieeu able ta verify tbe records. It is as
as follows :—Souls worshipped, first ceremonial
251,550, second ceremonial 30,877, third ceremonial 24,421. total 84,848.
Tbis worship in honor of the souls of the dead
soldiers and sailors iu Japau partakes somewhat of
the nature of Memorial Day save that the religions
element in the ceremonies is stronger. Shinto and
Bnddhist priests both oouduot services of an impressive character, aud usually high officers of the
army and uavy staud forth in turn before the multitude of worshippers aud read eulogistic addresses to the spirits of the dead heroes, addressing
them as if they were present and participating in
the rites. At tbe last services Admiral Togo and
tbe Emperor himself conducted uue of the services
aud the Empress and Prinoe Imperial lent tbe
dignity of the imperial presence to the second.
No complete list of the casualties suffered by
the Russians has ever been published. Oue authority has it that tbe Russiuu dead uud wounded
during the war amounted to 388,500, hut of this
numlier he does uot specify how mauy were killed.
NEW BRITISH ARMY CHIEF.
Mnoh satisfaction is felt in British military
oircles that* so capable an officer as Sir William
Nioholson has heen chosen as Chief of the General
Staff and Fii>t Military Member of the Army
Connoil in succession ta Sir Neville Lyttleton,
who now takes over the command ol the forces in
Ireland.
Few officers have greater claims to fame than
General Nicholson, hut he will perhaps be most
fondly remembered as the man who reorganized
tbe Intelligence Department ont of the chantio
mnddle into whiob it was thrown hy the Sonth
Afrioan War. Most of bis time has been passed
in India, wbere he made a great name for himself
as an administrator, and incidentally as a wbist
player. He bas seen plenty of fighting, his latest
experience of war being gained as chief military
attache to the Japauese army in the Manohurian
operation.
Of tall and athletic hnild, Sir William looks
the typical soldier. His features are strongly
marked, and be weais au habitual air of deep
thought. His energy is untiring, and he invariably displays a determination to get to the root of
things that is at times positively disconcerting to
a subordinate who is inclined to he slack. Tbe
reputation whioh he has in Pall Mall of being
a terrible martinet is, however, quite undeserved.
